WTVR.com is reporting that James William Hill III has been convicted for attacking a former co-worker because Hill believed his co-worker to be gay. The attack occurred back in 2015 at an Amazon Fulfillment Center where both men worked. Evidence revealed that the co-worker's perceived sexuality was the primary motivation for the attack. Hill will be sentenced at a later date, but he faces up to 10 years behind bars.
Personally - me thinks the hetero doth protest too much.
Me thinks this Jimmy Hill is a closet queer with severe identity issues.
Why else would a declared anti-queer do something that could send him to a sausage fest in a cage for up to 10 years?
Word of advice - trim that flavor saver before your cell mate figures out how good it feels on his balls.

Hi @steemitgay. It’s unfortunate that this man will be going to prison because of this hate. You ask why someone would make this choice knowing the consequences, but I think it’s clear enough by now that hate makes no sense and has no proper reasoning.
I think the word of advice comes off a bit crass, though I understand if it’s fueled by frustration. My hope (as is my hope for anyone incarcerated) is that his imprisonment will rehabilitate and reconcile him to the LGBT+ community. If abused in prison, it’s unlikely we will see that happen, so I will just remain hopeful for him. Prison isn’t the end of someone’s life, even if they deserve their sentence.
I might have more sympathy for a younger person or even someone with a developmental disability - none of that applies here. This was a 30 something year old homophobe who was sane and sober at the time he attacked his co-worker because he thought his co-worker was gay. As quoted from the article: "Hill admitted to an Amazon manager and a Chesterfield County Police Officer that he dislikes people who are gay, and further stated that people who are gay should expect to be assaulted because of their sexual orientation." @BetterBeing, I appreciate your point of view - but I stand by the entirety of my post. The more time this guy is on the street, the more time he has to infect younger people with his hateful ideology. I think going to prison is the best thing this guy can do for society - because he will serve as an example to other homophobes that actions = consequences.
